1) How would (do) you define the term, ethical (or moral) absolute? (Exactly what does the term, ethical/moral absolute, mean to you)

2) Are there any objective and absolute ethical or moral standards or rules? (Note: this question asks whether any such absolutes actually exist, not whether you may or may not agree with - or abide by - them.) Support your point of view with an underlying rationale.

3) If it is your point of view that is objective and absolute ethical or moral rules do not exist, explain how you make personal and/or organizational decisions related to the ethical (or moral) issues and questions that arise.

4) In your view, what specific "moral rules" should be applied in managing the various functions contained within the scope of human resource management practices (e.g., the selection, performance evaluation, and incentives management processes)?
